I confirm that the conversation of yesterday iwth Iraida's solicitor "Mr. Nagy" was exactly about this area between the compound and the beach.

Update:

I cut writing after the last line, and I called the solicitor of the developer again, just to ask more questions and hear more.

He confirmed that the said area is 200 m - 220 m not 150, and that the said huts will be put only on the sides but not in the middle, and that they won't reach the beach because there would be an area only for swimmers and those who want just to enjoy the sun. The said huts will be before this area, and wil be only on the sides.

All the best,

Zeiad Yehia
Solicitor

Thanks again Zeiad. That little matter seems to be cleared up. Still think it will be reasonable that it is put in writing, either on the contract itself or as a separate document, just so everyone is sure

Rivera works for Al Rivera. All agents, including ourselves, would love to sell this project but only if it is legal. Zeiad came all the way from Sharm specifically to look at the documents which had been provided by the land owner and the Developer. We have no interest in rubbishing this project but Zeiads's advice was don't touch it until the Due Diligence is in order. That remains our position and I would appreciate some input from Zeiad to confirm his findings.

If they get the correct paperwork in order it will be on every agents website.

Thanks

Yep, it seems that's the option most people go for.

what i meant here that if teh lawer is professinonal and he said that he heared about ( for me isn't acceptable) on the other hand he sweared to him that he isn't responsible of any one write on the forum as he can talk , as someone was worked in the Rivera comapny before but now he is out and he is trying to attacks the owner and the project and when the owner spoke to him, he been afraid to say that he did that but that is teh true.

i'm not saying that wasn't any nice projects in Hurghada except the Riera beach resort , but why the agent if they found themselves only trust in the person not in the papers they trying to attacks
any way The Rivera ompany is going a head with the project and they satmped the partnership contract from the egyptian court so my lawer confirmed me that all are in order

then i went with my lawer to the Rivera Co, and he showed us all the documents , i can see if somebody has something to hidden he would do that when i was in the ofice but brought all the documents and its normal if someone has a partner in his project

even the owner of Rivera company in his way to own the project by himself and buy the share of his partner which is 30% from the project

Dear Sir,

I read your post twice, doing my best effort to understand what exactly is the issue there but I failed to find it. I believe, however, that Mr. Mitry's reply summed up all what I can tell. He said it really in a good way.

With all my respect to your lawyer, but some stuff is not in order yet, and if your lawyer has another opinion I will be glad to post all the due diligence documents online, translate it, and write my comments down, but I 'truly' hope we won't go there.

When it comes to my statement that I am not responsible for what anyone writes it stands true, because I simply did not give any information on the forum concerning Riviera before I travel to Hurgada and check myself, and even then I still respected the promise I gave someone not to 'smear' the project, especially when the situation can be rectified, but in fact, it is not yet rectified and it is in a quite unacceptable sitation at the moment that TRULY needs to be corrected. Again I do respect your lawyer, you, and every one who uses 'reason' in discussion. Subsequently my 'reasonable' answer is that I possess documents that prove my opinion, but in the event you have newer documents or something I would be glad to see, and will be more glad to let those people who wanted to buy go ahead, 'cause you know what? This is more business for me!!! So I'd be glad if the project's due diligence was correct!

However, if you are now putting my promise against my conscience, it is not 'that' hard of choice; conscience will win!

Kindly keep this thread for fruitful discussions, and, again, in the event you have any documents that will falsify the documents I have, then please provide me with them and I will be more than happy to represent anyone who wants to purchase there. If your lawyer was happy with the documents which I've checked and took copy of, then you figure out what you want to do.

When it comes to the owner buying 30% of the other partner, please be informed that the other partner's position is null and void from the beginning, and that the land plot had a restriction for partnership in the original contract "which I have a copy of", and that the partnership was not done the rightway even, and subsequently has 0% legal value. The owner remains the original owner while the new partner has no legal authority of any kind. I am telling you just very few information here, but you might like to know it.

Finally, tricking someone over phone is possible, but when someone asks me about what I wrote about the project when I wrote nothing, and asking me about the result of my check when the whole process was discreet, it was not that hard to figure out that the caller was working for the partner! Who else knew I was there checking these documents? And who called didn't even know the name of the forum! Moreover, he knew I was checking it in Hurgada when a VERY FEW people knew that. The original owner is excluded since we were liaising on phone and she was a decent person and promised that the entire situation will be 100% legal soon. Consequently I withheld from giving any statements; the location is great, the price is convenient, and the owner wants to correct the situation. Why would I smear the project then?!

Anyway I ave nothing more to add, and for the third and last time, if you have newer documents...etc.

Thanks for your time reading.

All the best,

Her final paperwork cannot be completed until 96 hours before we fly but the egyptian embassy said that it would take 3 working days to process the paperwork. This time frame just does not add up.

Have you any idea what options are open for us? What would happen if we arrived in Hurghada airport without the embassy stamp?

Thanks very much

Lyndsay

Dear Lyndsay,

The pets' import/export issue remains a nightmare in Egypt I know. Just please do not violate the procedures or they would keep her in a box in the medical custody until the papers are all finished. It takes time I know and the procedures may be so hard, but please be patient, as this is the only legitimate way to let your pet in, in a good medical condition. And I apologize but there are no various options here, as Egypt is too strict about this issue, in fear of epidemics / diseases transmitted by animals from a country to another. I am a dog lover myself and always had dogs all my life, so I know exactly what you're going through, and this is why I don't want you to violate the rules or the dog may be put in conditions that you may not consider as 'best conditions'. You can delay your flight or something until the paperworks for her are all done.

All the best,

Zeiad Yehia

Hi - I am trying to get my head around the selling process - that is if we decide to sell. The way we have understood is there are 2 ways to register the property - the 1st way, we could not sell the property for 5 years? (please correct us if wrong) and the second by the 'signature validity court verdict' ? - when we could immediately.
Again - if we decided to sell - what would an estate agent want to see - besides the deeds? - a really confused person - and is it worth registering the property? any help gratefully accepted but in laymans language and a step by step version please from any estate agents out there!!!! thanks
